I'm seeing MIA -7, and MIA -8 in Jolly Old England. AFAIK, BUF has covered at home but not on the road.

Re: The betting line, BUF@MIA
Bad news for Bills fans...
2/3rds of the bets are on Buffalo to cover the spread. Almost 90% of the bets think Buffalo will straight up win. Vegas can't win if Buffalo wins or makes it a close game.405 BUFFALO BILLS 41 43.5 43 42.5 42.5 42.5 43o08 43.5 43.5 66% 89% 71% 406 MIAMI DOLPHINS -11.5 -7.5 -7 -7 -7.5 EVEN -7 -9.5 +26 -9 +15 -7 34% 11% 29%
We all know how Vegas works. They usually win about 75% of all bets, so this one doesn't look good for the Bills.
I would not be surprised if New England loses too. If they win, it will be by a field goal or less.
Only way Vegas makes money on this game is if the Jets win, or Brady pulls another rabbit out of his magic helmet.

Re: The betting line, BUF@MIA
Point spreads (the "Side") entice people to gamble on the underdog. If people could only gamble straight up win/loss on the money, Vegas wouldn't be in business.
I would assume that most people gamble on the spread (Side), which is why it's listed first on all the sportsbooks.
Vegas makes their money by luring people in to betting the side by giving them points.
What matters most is the point spread, because that is where Vegas makes their money. There would be no money to be made without the Side, which is why I would always bet against it.
OK...
So the Bills lose, Patriots lose, Chiefs lose, and Cowboys lose.
Vegas is usually right 3 out of 4 times.

The initial odds are set by odds-makers in the same manner that insurance companies set rates. They look at historical trends and set the initial spread, then adjust the spread if too much money goes in one direction.
If you look at the Bills recent history at Miami, they are 1 - 4 with the losses being by 14, 27, 28 & 9 points. They one game they won was a 3 point win. That is why the line was set high, because the Bills generally haven't performed well there lately.

Welcome to our first blowout loss. This line does not bode well for the Bills, and we're due to let our true colors show on the road.Lou Saban: You can get it done, you can get it done. And what’s more, you’ve gotta get it done.

Re: The betting line, BUF@MIA
Vegas is cleaning up on pro football, according to someone I know who works in the industry. I view it as a sucker bet and only play football cards for a couple bucks. Most people chase last weeks winners and lose.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
